Book Description:
July, 1923. The ‘20s are roaring, and twenty-year-old Tiny O’Mara is desperate for a little anything-goes excitement. But when her father is kidnapped by a mobster in Detroit's exploding organized crime scene, she’s shocked to find herself caught up in the bootlegging wars of Prohibition—and torn between two gorgeous gangsters on opposite sides.
To save her father’s life, she’ll have to choose between them. But deciding whom to trust isn’t easy in a world where everyone wants something—be it booze, money, power, or sex—and no one cares what it takes to get it.
Temptation is everywhere.

Ending – left me wanting more!!
Wow where to start. This book was unique and original. It is a New Adultish book set in the 1920's that is full of lust, intrigue, gangsters, drama, danger and bootlegging. I loved the atmosphere of the book. It was all flappers, gangster & booze. It was fast paced full of mystery and sexual tension that would melt your sheets because not only was there a sexy Alpha Male to drool over but there where two!! Melanie does an amazing job of getting your full attention because the characters where real and you could connect and relate with them. The writing flowed seamlessly and kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat wondering what the hell was going to happen next. I don't want to say much about the story because there was so much going on and I don't want to give anything away. The ONLY thing I could complain about would be that the book was to short and ended with a lot of questions. I can't wait to see what happens next and where that leaves Tiny, Enzo & Joey!!
Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her lipstick red, and her history with the naughty bits left in. SPEAK EASY was inspired by her cocktail culture obsession, her affection for good gin, and the view from the end of her street. She lifts her glass to NA readers and writers from her home near Detroit, MI.
